Lap Lane Availability

Lap Lane Availability

There are lanes available to use during all pool opening hours Monday to Sunday (subject to event bookings). Please note, the pool space allocations are a guide only. Bookings are taken daily and therefore pool space allocation may change at short notice.

During our peak hours: 5.30am-8.00am and 4.00pm-7.00pm (weekdays), 8:00am-12:00pm (weekends), we generally have 100 meters of lap lanes available for the public.

During off peak hours, there are often more lanes available to use.
 

Lap Lane Etiquette

1. Choose Your Lane Wisely: Swim in a lane that matches your speed. Slower swimmers should use the outside lanes, while faster swimmers take the middle lanes.
2. Circle Swim: In a shared lane, always swim in a clockwise direction (circle swim) to avoid collisions.
3. Passing: If you need to pass someone, do so at the wall during turns. Tap their foot gently to indicate you’re coming by.
4. Respect Space: Maintain a safe distance from other swimmers. Avoid splashing and be aware of your surroundings.
5. Avoid Stopping in the Middle: If you need to rest, move to the wall to avoid blocking the lane.
6. Notify Others: If you're starting a set of laps, let others in your lane know, especially if you plan to swim faster or slower than the pace.
7. Be Mindful of Equipment: If using fins, pull buoys, or other equipment, be aware that these can impact your speed and space.
8. Communicate: If you need to switch lanes or have a concern, communicate politely with fellow swimmers.
